(4,672 posts)I had pulled an all-nighter cramming. Got to the exam, which consisted of a few minor questions, and the major essay which we had 2 hours for. And a couple of blue books.
Checked out the essay question and panicked. I hadnt studied that area at all, and my mind and the blue book were blank. Guaranteed F so maybe I should just walk out. My mind was racing. With nothing to lose, I did the only thing I could think of, and began writing my essay:
While is historically important, more interesting historically is . I then wrote 2 blue books answering my own question.
When we went back to class, the professor handed back the graded exams but not mine, announcing I needed to see him after class for mine. Uh oh. That was a long class!
Went up afterwards and he said, Had I actually asked the question you answered, you would have gotten an A. I down-graded it to a B vs an F for quality and creativity. But if you ever try to pull something like that again, you will not only fail the exam but the class.
Whew. Dodged a bullet my Senior year!
